My past. A key to My Big Future.

     I've been through some things in my young life that have molded me and taught me things about myself. I'm sure I'll go through a lot more. I look forward to it because everything in my past has taught me more about myself. I've learned from my experience in life, work, and play.  I hope to continue to grow in all I do. My past has exposed who I am and where I want to go. My past experiences have shown me where I should be.
    
     I had some jobs where I've been very unhappy and some I loved completely . My last job at a nursing home was my favorite. I helped take care of elderly patients with physical and mental disabilities, such as Alzheimer's disease. I learned a lot about people, how vulnerable you become with age. I learned, we all need help in the end. No matter who you are and what you've done, you start to depend on another. You'll always need someone. This job opened my eyes and shown me a power of my own, the power to nurse.( to care for others). I truly love to help others, it makes me shine inside.

 

     Another experience I've seen in my life was when my mother would bring in children. My mother raised a lot of children. She'd take in people off the streets to help them get clean and raise their children. She has been a wonderful women to me and others. She made a difference in so many ways that made a chain reaction. Seeing my mother care for others this way has taught me to step out and help others. We all make mistakes and fall down, sometimes we just need someone to help us up. My mom has shown me to give people chances too. I don't think I'd be the person I am without her. So grateful for her and the little lessons that have such a big impact on my life and who I am. I'll always want to help others. I've been doing it, it comes naturally like I was born with it.

     One very important experience I've been through that helped me realize what I want to do was when my sister gave birth to my niece. When my sister gave birth, I was helping her. I was right there beside the nurse. I got first hand experience up close and it was amazing. I felt a power that was meaningful, The power to help bring in life. This was a special day in my life. Seeing my niece come into this world was powerful, beautiful and brought a lot of joy to me. So thankful for the moment I got to share with my sister and her family.

     All of these experiences have been eye-openers. They've helped direct me on the path I want to finish. My past has played a major role in who I am today.

To accomplish great things, you must not only act, but also dream, not only plan, but also believe.

Another Day In Paradise

 

I used to like this job

Now I can't wait to get out. Wish I could grab my things and finally I'm gone.

 

All the worst things in one little song.

I could never see myself going far here

 I want the post office in Kenmore Square to just disappear.

 All the spurs, dead letters and supervisors in their chairs.

Man I do not belong here.

 

All my hard work never appreciated. These lazy ass supervisors always waiting...

for me

 I need to live my dreams. I need to be away from these crazy post office fees.

 I hate this job so much that when I punch in.

I want to hit out for lunch.

So many lazy people doing the same old things,

 I need to live this place to see what my life brings.

 

This place is taking a toll on me. Made me sit down and think of where I should be. I'm so much better than this. I deserve so much more. Being stuck here, when I want so bad to just hit the door.

 

 I really want to quit I have to do it for me. I need to move on, there is so much more I will be.

 I never thought I'd be here.

I feel like I'm stuck, Only because I'm making a big ol' buck.

 Its not enough for me. I can become much more. I rather go out there. I mean I rather explore.

There are things to do and more to see.

I have to step out this mailing box,

 I have to do it for me.

 

I Got the Power

 

 

      During tough situations in my life, I've noticed my power of patience. My patience was strengthened while I worked at my last job as a nurses' assistant. My patience is put to the test everyday, at work,home and school. I've noticed it takes inner strength to be patient. Its not easy sometimes but I try to remind myself of the end result. In the end you are respected more and your attitude  is always appreciated,People always remember the good things you do for them.

  

     While working, I  deal with a lot of people that rush, are impatient, and sometimes rude. My customers come in and they are expecting top service, fast and accurate. I try to be efficient in all I do, even when I'm under pressure and pushed. I've noticed my strength and how important it is. Even when I'm aggressively pushed, I keep my cool. I look at my situation and try to fix it, so everyone is happy. It makes my job easier. I've had an experience where I've lost my patience and learned that I can't let other peoples' attitude affect me. I work too hard. Once I had a young man disrespect me for not giving him a discount. I got out of character and stooped down to his level, treating him as he was treating me. It felt good to stand up for myself but it wasn't like me to fight. I felt vulnerable but most of all ashamed that I let this boy change my attitude. Today, I try to stay professional at work.

     

Everyday, I remind myself to practice patience in all I do because it helps me get through a lot. I work too hard to let other people affect my work and my life. I try to stay in control of myself and what I'm doing. My co-workers tell me I am very patient and that helps keep me on  track.Sometimes its hard but if I keep practicing I'll have the power to get through so much more.

 

 

 

   

 

 

When I was a Limitless Child

 When I was a limitless child...

I ran, I raced, I won. I was golden. Kissed by the sun.

 Happy, free like a butterfly. Limitless I was.

A little girl, curious about the big-wide world.

Hop scotch,double dutch-

games I knew. Kickball after school. 

A child with hopes, dreams and laughter. 

Needing someone just to look after me. I was a busy bee.

Filled with glee. 

I danced, I hoped and dreamed. Had hopes and dreams bigger, wider deeper than any see.

These child hood days, there were no fears. 

Just love, family, pets and fluffy teddy bears. Holidays, happy every year.

 I had a sweet child hood. January through December, a child is a child, let them live, laugh, learn and 

stay limitless forever.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Birthday Momma

 Hi Mom,

   I am writing to tell you I'm thankful for everything you've done for me. I appreciate all you did throughout the years. You are a wonderful mother. I thank God for placing you in my life. 

   While growing up you showed me every day how to love, work hard and stay strong. I am grateful the times you were hard on me. When I thought I knew it all, you showed me right. When you wanted to say "yes", you protected me and said, "no". You are always supportive in all I do. Thank you for your guidance.

    You've been a great friend and I am proud of you. You've taught me how to be a mother. You are such a strong woman. Thank you mum.

 

      

       Momma, there is no one like you. You taught me things they could never 

Teach in school. 

 Have a heart of gold, you the best in every soul. 

You are one in a million. So special 

To me. And I hope everything you want, you will one day see.

 Happy birthday Momma! 

 Everyday is your day. Wish I could buy you everything, give you so much money.

 

 You were there for me, when I had no hope. You stood beside me, 

when all I felt was alone. You are so caring and I'll never forget. All the love. All the joy, growing up as a kid. 

 You gave something to me and I'll never let it go, I'll hold on even when I grow old.

A little about me.

 My name is Tiffany Rose. I'm from Brockton, MA. I come from a big, loving family and I am the oldest. As a kid I spent a lot of time with my cousins. One of my favorite memories was when we'd bother my grandpa as he did work around the yard. We'd sneak into the chicken coupe, mess with the chickens and he'd chase us around the house.    

   Today I work a lot and I'm fully unhappy with my job. I realized I am ready to move on and give myself the happy, promising future I deserve. I know I'll have to work harder than I ever have before. I'm going to make some sacrifices but I need to be happier in what I do. I want to make a difference everyday. I want my family to be proud and I want to be able to provide more. I'm looing at things with fresh eyes. Life is more than hard work and no play.

  I enjoy spending time with my best friend. He is two years old. When he was born, he became everything in my little world. While I'm home I love to sing and dance. I'll sing all day but I have a horrible voice. If you'd ask one of my closest friends about me they'd say I'm loving, caring, happy, dependable and honest. I think I'm a very happy person, I'm just going through a lot right now. My co-workers tell me I deserve better and I have so much to offer. It just took so long for me to hear them and listen to myself.
  I've waiting so long to finally go back to school. I'm happy I'm here and ready to become a better me.

 

 

  

   I will move on and begin. I 

   Know I can finish

   Now that I'm ready and I understand

   Opened my eyes and I see

   Where I need to go 

   Money isn't everything

   Yes I can do it 

    I know I can.  

    Never give up! 

    Never stop reaching

    Everyone is doubting me 

    Reach for your goals 

    Step forward

    Even when things get tough 

    Learn from the hard times

    Finish 

    Will you start!

    I'll get there

    Learn to keep growing

    Leap into your dreams

    Get  

    Up!

    I won't give up

    Decide where I'm going I'll 

    Eventually

    Make it

    Even if it takes a while no one can stop

    Take everything in and 

    Open your eyes

    This moment

    Here is mine

    Even if I get tired 

    Right now I can't lose

    I need to win

    Give your all

    Hope 

    This works out

    Days are passing and 

    Everyday I'm working. I 

    Choose my future and I say what

    I become

    Sit back and still self 

    I have to focus 

    On the outcome 

    Now I'm ready
